Monday Spiritual Thot

Well everyone, I finished a new poem today.  Did I tell you all that our church is having a creative expo??? Well, in case I didn't... we are! LOL  It's the 30th.  We have different areas we can sign up for.... I signed up for arts/crafts, Stories, and Poetry.  I knew I could do the art/craft, and was pretty sure about the story, but was REALLY worried about the poem.  Cause, she wanted us to READ them.  Like, out LOUD.  *eyes still wide with a bit of fear*

So today I went to pray... and wound up composing the poem! Here it is:


Testimony

Shattered
Broken
Wounded by sins
Others had committed

Wandering
Searching
Looking for a God
Who was real

Traditions
Hypocracy
Those were the "Christianity"
I'd known

Desperatlely
Searching
For a God that was real
In someones life

Empty
Hungry for love
I slid deeper and deeper
Into sins that I couldn't control

A merciful God
Saw more
Than the anger I felt
Looking into the broken heart

People
Entered my life
Telling me this God was real
And their lives showed it.

Living
The faith they taught
I listened to their words
Wondered, could he be real to me too?

Sitting here
With you now
I'm amazed yet again
That he was, and still is

Healing
Comforting
He's been real in my life
In ways I could never have expected.

Loving
Caring
He longs to be that real
In your life too

Lets see... the categories I know of are: Stories, Art/Crafts, Poetry, Cooking, Drama, music....

I'm not sure what the stories category is supposed to do...

Arts/Crafts is just anything, he told all the parents to go out and buy art supplies for their kids and help them make something for that at least. The guy in charge of that is going to do "spray paint art". That'll be REALLY cool to see... especially since I can't picture that AT ALL! I'll show you my entry as soon as I get my puter back and can get it done. :)

Drama even the guy in charge has no idea what people are supposed to do LOL

Music is anything musical (of course) I thought about doing a trumpet solo but doubt I can get one together that soon.

Cooking is for a dinner I think they're having afterwords. :)
